Tenchu Return From Darkness

Venice thought her mind was playing tricks on her— Until the walls of her world started whispering back. Strange things keep appearing in her room. Unspoken memories feel too sharp to be dreams. And the one person she’s not sure she should trust… might be the only one who sees her. But how do you know what’s real— When obsession disguises itself as devotion? This isn’t a love story. This is possession dressed as protection. And in onyx darkness, no one walks away clean. Trigger Warnings: Obsession, emotional manipulation, psychological abuse, trauma, sexual content, grief, violence, gaslighting, coercion, stalking, and BDSM themes.

Evan Smith never imagined war. As a blacksmith’s son, he was a quiet boy from a quiet village, content to live his days without venturing beyond home. But when the empire’s banners turned inward and enemy boots crossed the border, his village became nothing more than a battleground between two merciless forces. Families disappeared. Silence replaced food. Soldiers, both foreign and familiar, came not as protectors but as plunderers. There were no heroes or rebels, only commands to obey… or graves to fill. With nothing left to bury and no place left to flee, Evan embarks on a journey he never wanted — through war camps, ravaged towns, and dark forests, searching for something even he doesn’t fully understand: a reason to keep going. What he discovers is a truth no child should ever face — The world’s cruelty doesn’t come from monsters, but from men. In a land where hope is forbidden and justice forgotten, Darkness Beyond follows one overlooked life through the slow, suffocating death of peace, questioning whether an ordinary boy can still decide what kind of man he will become… when all the light has vanished.

Activating a forbidden spell, he finds himself living in another world, a world full of martial artists. A world where one could destroy mountain tops with their fist, but Magic still exists in the new world, and he’s the only one that knows about it. **** Note: Raze Cromwell is a character who briefly appears in My vampire system. (For 2 Chapters) There is no need to read My vampire system. Since this story is based on Raze before he became what he was in vampire system.

Kai Blackthorn was once the most feared villain in the world, known as the Dark Emperor. But when a dimensional calamity threatened to destroy Earth, he fought alongside the heroes to save humanity. After the war, he became even stronger than the original hero, eventually growing so powerful that he killed Vorthak, a god from another dimension who controlled the dungeon gates connected to Earth. However, gods have allies. In revenge for Vorthak's death, Zephyros, the God of Storms, hunted down Kai and killed him after an epic seven-day battle. But death wasn't the end. Kai awakens in the body of Lucas Gray, a weak and constantly bullied 16-year-old student at the Hunter Academy. This frail body is the complete opposite of his previous powerful form - Lucas is an F-rank student with barely any mana and pathetic physical abilities. The catch? Kai retains all his memories, combat experience, and most importantly, his immense power. The problem is that this weak body can't handle even a fraction of his true strength without being destroyed. Now Kai must carefully rebuild his strength from the ground up, using his centuries of knowledge and secretly accessing items from his dimensional storage. He has to train Lucas Gray's body to gradually handle more power while navigating academy life, dealing with bullies like Jake Morrison, and slowly climbing the ranking system from F-rank upward. But this is more than just a comeback story. Kai suspects there's a deeper reason for his reincarnation, especially as new dungeons appear faster than ever before. Something big is coming, and he needs to regain his full power before it's too late. Armed with god-slaying techniques trapped in a teenager's body, Kai begins his journey to show the world that even the weakest student can become the strongest hunter - if they have the right experience and determination.

He woke up from a deep slumber. He was trapped for a long time. Now that he has awaken in someone else's body, he faced a life he was never prepared for. Can he survive?

"When she read, Lisa had always hated villains. In her defense, she never expected to become one." Lisa was an avid reader, and among all the books she loved, she had a new obsession: Beauty and Power, a book in which the main villain shared her name. The book began with two characters, Lisa and Eleanor, who, during a vacation trip, ended up getting lost in a cave and found themselves in the world of beasts. They were best friends and did everything together, so it was no surprise when both transmigrated to the same world. In the world of beasts, they were the most beautiful and caught the attention of the most powerful males. Over time, however, Lisa's envy and ambition grew stronger and stronger. The friends soon became rivals and then enemies. Lisa, the villain, led the fox clan against the tiger clan in the book’s final battle, where she was ultimately defeated by the protagonist, Eleanor. As a consequence of her sins, she was blamed for the war and sold into slavery. To ensure she could never manipulate anyone again, her tongue was cut out. That was the price she paid for her greed. "Now that was a great ending!" Lisa exclaimed, delighted by the story. However, she was far less thrilled when she woke up in the villain’s body. Sold as a slave and unable to speak, Lisa could only rely on her intelligence to survive in that body. But after all, what could she do with the body of a notorious criminal?

The world of super humans. People with superpowers. There are 5 types, Power, Speed, Mind, Endurance, and Sensory. Vagrant was a type that did not fall really under any of these 5.

Everyone is suddenly granted a system during the first series of dangers, what would later come to be known as 'Beast Breaks'. Authors Note: Chapter release will be very erratic. Don't expect too much either. Just a guy killing time. So keep it in your pants and don't sweat the details. It's a web novel book not the next big thing.
